Well i see on matchmaking it would, but if your locking it for the community. That would be irrelevant then. I do not know how it would effect anything else.
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2825-AFGJ-3513#how How does the matchmaking work? - You need to be running a Valve map to be matched, except: - Any arena map - cp_manor_event - cp_degrootkeep - koth_harvest_event - tc_hydro - Servers should be running as "vanilla" as possible. In particular, these server tags (sv_tags) will disqualify a server: - friendlyfire - respawntimes - nocrits - norespawntime - nodmgspread - highlander - noquickplay - Your server should not be password protected - Your server needs to have VAC enabled - Increasing the max player count above 24 will incur a matchmaking scorking penalty, but will not disqualify you from the list On Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 2:44 PM, doc <[email protected]> wrote: > I would like to get some clarification from Valve on this though.
